SAN BERNARDINO: Parolee arrested after brief police chase

A 24-year-old parolee has been arrested after police say he stole a vehicle
in Colton and led officers on a pursuit into San Bernardino.

About 5 a.m. Thursday, June 20, the victim reported the car theft in the 1200
block of South Mt. Vernon Avenue. Responding officers quickly found the parolee,
later identified as Steven Corricelli, driving the car, a Colton police news
release said.

Corricelli fled east on Washington Street before he crashed a couple of miles
away at Barton Road and Waterman Avenue in San Bernardino, police said. He then
took off on foot, but was captured in an apartment building on Wier Road and
arrested at 5:21 a.m.

Police said they found Corricelli in possession of a loaded handgun and
methamphetamine. He has been booked into the West Valley Detention Center. Bail
was set at $100,000.
